Right-o! Thank you, this has been instructive.

And while you were taking anagathics, you simply didn't make aging rolls?

How did this even work in Classic? There are some rules interpretations in the Classic -> Mongoose Traveller conversion that just don't make sense. Might be interesting to know how it was done in Classic, but I can't find anything about even taking anagathics while generating a character in the...

Suppose a character fails to procure a dose, already in play. Do they roll for Aging with their normal (unameliorated) modifier, or with the anagathics-modified modifier? The plain reading of the rule suggests the former, but IME everyone has interpreted it as the latter.

A TL 8 vacc suit (rad resistance 10) can't stand up to normal space radiation. A TL 10 vacc suit (rad resistance 60) can't stand up to normal space radiation, either! In the first case, the wearer dies of radiation exposure under 2 minutes. In the latter case, the wearer dies of radiation...

I'm trying for the middle-ground between "GM Fiat" and "do everything manually". The are, for example, rules for volleys, which reduce the amount of rolling and steps needed to fire many beams/missiles. They don't lead to the same results as though you'd rolled for each individual shot, but...

I think you're being uncharitable. The misjump occurred because they were jumping from high orbit around a gas giant, fleeing certain doom in the form of an automated Ancient capital ship they just found and shot at. If you want to be immune to misjumps in those conditions, then you need roughly...

Avoiding having to take an hour or two to go through all the hoops is the point of my inquiry. I know you can do all this manually. How is this an improvement? The players presumably don't want to make new characters to play for six IRL months while their main characters are frozen. I had to...

So, it came up in one of my earlier campaigns that the crew wanted to cross a fairly large distance, without engaging much with what they were passing along the way, because of reasons. Just straight going somewhere else, where somewhere else was three subsectors away. Are there any official or...

I ended up using Epicenter's explanation. I needn't have worried, however, since the players got distracted by a throwaway gag at the spaceport so much that I spun it into plot, and jumped away immediately after refueling without making the least attempt to investigate the world's geopolitics.

I doubt they'd be officially slaves, since the Imperium bans slavery.

It doesn't actually say that the Scouts who use the name are on the world. Just that the clerks use the official name, while everyone else uses the common one. One thing I've come up with myself is an imperial safari planet, where only gameskeepers live permanently.

Well, an official answer would be dandy, but I'm interested mainly in speculation so I can pick something and run with it next week.

Right smack in the middle of the Tobia subsector in the Trojan Reach, there is a world called 'Our Planet'. It has a breathable atmosphere - the pressure is a little high, but not so high as to make pressure suits or oxygen masks a necessity. It has gravity that puts it on the high end of the...
